Quite a bit has changed on Nascar Pools Online for this coming season, as we’ve added more customization options so the pool creation is a little more involved than in previous seasons. We’ve put together some quick step by step instructions to help you get started setting up your fantasy Nascar pool on the site. As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send us a message.

Scoring Settings

Decide whether you want a Chase Reset and the reset type, and if you will award bonus points for regular season position or driver or team wins, and how many points each position or win should be worth.

You will be able to update the scoring settings once your pool is activated, so it’s not as imperative that you get them perfect before adding entries.

Groups/Salaries

Choose whether to start with our default groups, or from scratch. Our default is 7 groups of 5 cars or drivers each, so if you’re planning on using less than 7 groups, choose the custom option.

If using salaries, move the sliders to the desired salary for each driver, and then submit.

If using groups, drag and drop the desired car/driver into the dark grey box in the appropriate group.

If you want to have entrants select more than 1 car or driver from a group, click the up arrow to get to the desired number.

Since these settings determine how entries are created, you are unable to modify these selections once you’ve activated your pool.

Activation/Invites

Once your settings are all in order, choose the Activate pool option from the Manager menu.

Once your pool is Active, go to the Manager Tools page, and send invites to all of the members of your pool from last season (this will only work for online pools, and entries that were assigned an owner in offline pools).

Hopefully that helps you get started on getting your league up and running on the site. We will add a follow-up post in the near future with how to add your teams, and work your way around managing your pool now that it’s set up.
